| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. inna, I have not experienced Neptune, and the dominus came with ferox. People who purchase these older fluid-filled cables should be prepared to send them to PAD for ferox fill as there is low chance they are still filled with fluid. "I will... | |
| No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables. Musaeus and HDI are such soft sounding cables, I have since stayed from the less expensive lines. I have Proteus and Dominus B interconnects now. Both are heavy cables which need strain relief for the jacks. The dominus is ridiculously unwieldy, v... | |
| Does ROON sound different? With a sonictransporter to Bricasti renderer via ethernet the difference between jplay/mconnect and Roon is small. I would say Roon is a bit softer in the upper midrange and images do not stand out in such relief as jplay. That is for better or wo... | |
| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? I have a strong preference for the TAD me1 over the sopra, like it is less opinion and more a fact the TAD is better. The ME1 stands have a nice feature that allows one to zip tie the cables to them, so they do not work loose at the binding posts.... | |
| Wattgate IEC does not fit tight. I have the same problem with wattage connectors. I just rubber-banded the connecter to the footer of the DAC to which it is connected. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 to cornwall iv That could be a great match. IME those JBLs require about 300 watts to realize good response from the woofers....and the woofers are outstanding. | |
| Question on Speaker Placement My experience for monopoles is the distance to the back wall in conjunction with listening distance most affects approximately the 40-400Hz range. I use inexpensive acoustic measurement setup to more efficiently figure out placement, especially wi... | |
| JTR RS1s (18” sealed subs) vs JL Audio E112s, (JBL 4367) I am glad someone was able to find a well-priced, user-friendly subwoofer for the JBL 4367. That is good info. The woofers have better bass texture then my pair of 13" fathoms. The fathoms have a lot of tools to flatten room modes, though. If yo... | |
| Listening Room I believe there some speakers that produce a more even "power distribution" through the room. My experience is that none are better than LARGE planar speakers, like big Magnepans. There are others such as some Audiokinesis models and Endow Audio s... | |

| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s All I can add is my mark levinson amp was markedly better than a VAC 160 amp with my 4367s. It was actually far better than any other amp I tried. | |
| Covers for racks to keep dust off? I also use covers from radiodustcover.com. They are well made with soft lining and tough outer shell. They are a little oversized and include a flap for easy on-off. | |
| SOUTHWEST AUDIOFEST 2024 I enjoyed SWAF. There was a good variety of products/systems showcased. The hotel is a great venue for an audio show with a very spacious lobby, large rooms and fast elevators. The number of attendees was really low. The headwinds being weather, S... | |

| Qobuz hell Thank you. This thread is the reason I signed up for tidal instead. |
